"The aim of the Campfire Skills Foundation is simply to provide a service and educational programme where young people have access to be involved with nature."

The first branch is on "how to use a knife as a tool not see a knife as a weapon." In a time where knife crime is now escalating out of control, we believe that the Campfire Skills Foundation is needed to promote the knife as a tool.We can visit your school, club or young peoples organisation to give talks, demonstrations, and lessons in knives. Visits to the woodland campsite here in Hampshire can be arranged also.

By nature young people have a natural fascination with knives, through the Campfire Skills Foundation we teach that the knife is not dangerous by itself, but it is the hand that holds it.Knives are not going to go away, just think about all the professions that use "sharps" on a daily basis...some of these people are butchers, gardeners, vets, farmers, surgeons, plumbers, chefs, carpenters...the list goes on.So we have to learn to live with knives and respect them for what they are, tools.
